Are you sure? Pregnancy generally shortens your treatment time. I was originally quoted 24-30 months when I started but I got pregnant a month after having the braces fitted. It's now been 16 months and my ortho says I'm just about done!

Hey lysachick, nice to see you. 16 months as opposed to up to 30 is certainly worth falling pregnant for! (other than I've passed my use by date...

)

Lysachick! wow! i will be asking that to my ortho! if that's the case i won't wait! my only concern was the x-ray stuff they might do at the end. didn't want to me pregrant at that time understandably. but hey, if it helps the teeth move faster, i will pass on the x-ray until the pregrancy is over. no biggie. super news you gave!

(i am quoted for 24-30 months too btw.)

Hi Mun,

Despite my teeth moving quicker whilst pregnant it hasn't all been fun! A couple of other people wrote in with the same experience however. I started a discussion thread at the time:

viewtopic.php?t=8568&highlight=lysachick

It was called Teeth movement during pregnancy or somthing similar, on 17/1/05.
